Well I went thru it after your comment but I don't feel much wiser for
it.

Off hand it seems to not be important for a replication backup to
include.  Only if there has been a crash dump of concern.  Even then
still seems unneccesary for job of recreating a healthy OS from
backup.  Still it is really not much data.  In my case its reported
6.64 GB, so might as well include in a replication backup eh?
